A survey that shows the 100 most dangerous cities in the United States was released in March but it has left a lot of New Mexicans scratching their heads.

The list, compiled by Neighborhoodscout.com, considered all major metropolitan areas with a population of 25,000 people or more with violent crimes per 1,000 people. Places like Indianapolis, Cleveland and Knoxville are on the list.

Action 7 News went out to talk to people about the survey. People who live in Albuquerque and some who have been here all their lives were shocked to find out that Albuquerque was not named.

"I can't believe that," said one woman.

"You get on the bus, you see guys with knives and stuff," said another.

Residents said while they love Albuquerque despite the things they see and hear, they feel there is a lot of crime.

"With narcotics, homicides," one man said. "Burglaries, too."

One woman said she won't let her daughter walk the streets by herself to go to school.

"Lock your doors," she laughed.

With residents' perspective of the Duke City in mind and the survey's results on hand, Action 7 News wanted to know the real crime rate in Albuquerque and therefore asked Albuquerque Police for the number of robberies, murders, aggravated assaults and more.

The department did not release the information.

Back on the streets of Albuquerque, people were even more shocked to find out that Farmington, New Mexico made the list. The town with a population of less than 50,000 came in at number 73 on the survey.
